Even if the woman did not stay up, it was still early for her to be here.
"Hold up, Professor Thompson.| have a quick question to ask."
With that, Austin quickly turned around and went downstairs.
However, as soon as he reached the first floor, he realized that Thompson was alone.
The woman seemed to have left.
"Austin, what's the matter?" Thompson asked with a smile, apparently waiting for him.
"It's just a little bump I've encountered during the experiment."
Looking over his shoulder, Austin asked, "Professor Thompson, who was that woman just now? Is she also from our institute? Why
is she here so early?"
"Oh, she is, but she's working on another project," Thompson answered lightly.
"That's why you haven't seen her much. So, what is it that you want to ask?"
Ignoring his question, Austin nodded.
"Oh, | see. | never knew we were doing other projects. I've never heard you mention anything about them. What project is it?"

know either. The most important thing ebook for us now is to do our part and do it well, don't you think?"
Thompson prodded earnestly.
Austin could tell from Thompson's words that he wanted to avoid questions.
That made Austin even more puzzled.
However, Thompson seemed to have no intention of talking about this anymore.
Ultimately, Austin decided to redirect the conversation back to his experiments.
"You're right.
So, here's the thing.
When | was experimenting last night..."
A strange feeling bubbled up in him as he spoke.
Just as he raised his head to look around, there was nothing to be seen.
Once Thompson was done explaining to Austin, Thompson looked up to see that Austin had zoned out and couldn't help but feel
displeased.
"Austin!"
"Yes, Professor Thompson?"
"Do you understand what | just said?"
"Ah, yes, Ido!"
Austin immediately returned to his senses.
"I was a little confused before this, but | get it now."
"Austin, | know you're considered very accomplished and qualified among the younger generation.
However, all of you have the sproblem —you guys are complacent.
Look at Mr.Dominic.
He has dedicated his entire life to medicinal herbs and has never been complacent.
He has always been humble.
There is no end to learning!"
Thompson wanted Austin to know that he was smart and successful, but that his fand reputation shouldn't make him think he
was better than he was.
After all, there were always more mountains to climb and more people to meet.

Even if Austin were Dominic's secret apprentice, he still wasn't Dominic himself.
When Austin heard Thompson's praises for Dominic, images of the older man immediately flashed across Austin's mind.
His stubborn temper, how he scoffed at Austin and sent him out of the house, and how he splashed everything he taught with a
hint of cynicism Austin broke into laughter.
"Professor Thompson, have you met Mr.Dominic? How would you know if he had never been complacent?"
"l...have not, but I've heard a lot about him."
After letting out a few coughs out of embarrassment, Thompson glanced at Austin.
"Why, can you introduceto him?"
"Why, can you introduceto him?"
This question instantly froze the smile on Austin's face.
Although Dominic was Austin’s second great-granduncle, it was already hard for Austin to meet him, let alone introduce an
outsider to him.
Austin didn't even have to think about it.
That old man would send them out of the house with a broom.
"Haha.Professor Thompson, you must be joking.Mr.Dominic isolated himself and hadn't seen outsiders for years.How can | change
that?" Austin replied with a dry laugh.
